About Summon Bonum Support & Care

We are Summon Bonum Support and Care in Torquay, and we support people in their own homes and in their communities across Torbay. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, older people and younger adults. Our approach rests on a few things we will not compromise on. Support is planned with the person, in their own words, and it is theirs to change. Staff are kept as consistent as the rota allows, because being known well is what makes support acceptable rather than intrusive. And wherever it is possible, we help somebody do a thing instead of doing it for them, since independence is far easier to keep than to recover. In practice, support might mean personal care and help with medication, cooking and shopping, managing money and paperwork, or going along to work, college, appointments and the places somebody actually wants to be. For autistic people especially, predictability is not a nicety. We explain changes in advance, keep routines steady, and take sensory comfort seriously. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that, though what we would rather be judged on is whether the people we support say their lives are better for us being involved. If you are working out what help would make a difference, ring us and we will talk it through honestly.
